Lemonade Sun

Relics remembered
after spring cleaning and garage sales
finding useful places in a new house
or another sale.

Ward and I take the tandem, a colossal weld of
Two bikes into one, to scour the city
For heroes: Roberto Clemente, Sandy Koufax
or Rod Carew

Packed into shoeboxes, our heroes
Wait to be separated from the rest.

We find ourselves one garage sale
Past curfew, returning home,
Finding our way to Theo's Pizzera.

A convenient stopping point,
too dark for bicycle riding.
Reluctant, my brother
runs an errand and brings us home.
